A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	Thanks for creating articles on early Republican era Chinese money like the Yuan Shikai dollar and etc. I actually have multiple Yuan Shikai dollars and I noticed that they didn't have a Wikipedia article a while before you created the article which intrigued me.

Thank you for high quality content all around! - My story today is about a composer and choir conductor, listen to his Lamento. - My story on 13 October was about a Bach cantata. As this place works, it's on the Main page now because of the date (but Bach wrote it for the 20th Sunday, not the Tuesday after the 21st Sunday after Trinity). I sort of like it because today is the birth date of my grandfather who loved and grew dahlias like those pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for the article, written in collaboration and introduced: "Ah, the United States commemorative half dollars. By the 1930s, these were getting much less special as every nonprofit in the country seemingly tried to fundraise through one of them. The Texas commemorative half is famed for its absurdly intricate reverse design, which is a great example of the pitfalls of coin design by committee. I initially planned to bring this up to FA by my lonesome, but Wehwalt took an interest to it and added a bunch of contemporary newspaper sources, so now it's a co-nomination! Hope you enjoy the read."! - Congratulations also to the unbelievable array of qality articles you touched recently, resulting in a third place in the WikiCup! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered.

WP:Featured list candidates/List of inventoried hardwoods in the United States/archive1

Hi Laura. Impressive showing in the Wikicup. You recently recommended a reference format that includes things like "{{harvid|StreetNapieralaJanssens|2015}}" and "Street, Martin; Napierala, Hannes; Janssens, Luc." I haven't been keeping up with how these things are handled at FAC, but the more serious source reviews at FLC aren't going to be happy about discarding all the parameters that keep track of first and last names. Are there other options? - Dank (push to talk) 16:16, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA

Thank you today for Bonn–Oberkassel dog, about "one of the oldest known examples of a domestic dog that modern archaeology is pretty sure about. We've found more late Paleolithic dogs since it was discovered in the 1910s, but what's most important about this little pup is the evidence of early veterinary care, and how ancient humans cared for this creature, seemingly out of compassion alone."! - Thank you especially for bringing compassion into play.

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email).

There were a lot of very interesting people in HK & China in those days. You might be in a better position to research my godmother’s father-in-law, Algernon Francis Evans b.18/9/1886 d.18/1/44 in Weihsien POW Camp. He owned the Salt Monopoly Board, I think in Shanghai or Nanjing….. I’ve got some great photos.

Dad and Edmund Blunden, the WW1 poet, went to meet Premier Zhou Enlai in 1955 and I’ve got some interesting stuff and photo of that too.
